Something’s gotta give

My schedule is eating me alive.

In other news, here are some meals I have been enjoying.

Last night I made a spaghetti squash, cut it in half, doused it in Meeker’s homemade tomato sauce, added some chees and feasted after a long day. This was the most yummy thing.

Breakfast was coffee and a handful of frosted mini wheats – eaten in the car. Lunch today was a bean and cheese burrito…er, bagel. Plus a lovely salad.

The salad had a shredded carrot, and strawberries. I dressed it with red wine vinegar. The bagel was whole wheat with refried beans and a bit of cheddar cheese and salsa. It was made out of desparation, but surprisingly, really good.

I was exhaused when I returned home tonight. A long day doesn’t begin to describe it. I was up at 4:30am to run 5 miles. Then at school for 12 hours and then home again – lacing up the sneakers for another 3 miles. Whoo! This is the last hard week in my training schedule. I start tapering next week and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

While I was running, Meeker grilled something beautiful.

Pork chops in teriyaki sauce. So delish. I ate 1/2 a chop with leftover spaghetti squash and a 1/2 a sweet potato – all on a mini plate.

Sometimes I feel like I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, and today is one of those days. Do you ever feel like you are so busy that you can’t focus on one project before another thing comes crashing to the forefront of your mind? That was me all day. Something’s gotta give…
Until then…happy eating!

  1. Poor thing. You sound over-the-top busy. What a wonderful husband to have beautiful warm food for you. You know that I’ll be thinking about you alot :)

  2. I feel like I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel because the kids I am nannying are brats not because I am busy haha. i have no idea how you can deal with a classroom full of kids – teachers are my heroes right now! You are doing some seriously hardcore training right now, props to you girl! I want spaghetti squash now, nom nom!

  3. HANG IN THERE GIRL!

    i think we have all been there, but just remember, “this too shall pass.”

    just keep eating yummy eats and take it one day at a time. hugs and love to you!

  4. Hang in there! I think we all feel that way sometimes but life comes in waves in it will get easier. How nice to have someone cooking you yummy pork chops while you ran. That’s the best :)

  5. I’m right with you now. I hate stress and feeling like I can’t get anything done! But, it always comes and goes, so hopefully both of our stressy loads blow over soon! Good luck with the busy sched!

  6. i hope things calm down a bit for you! every now and then my schedule will just be ridiculous, too. you just have to do your best and get through it. It may not be perfect, but it won’t always be that crazy, either.
